Might also be the oil overheating. I fitted a cooler to my XJ to stop it happening.

Syphon the fluid out it may be old and contaminated and if its coffee coloured it is..... and put new fluid in.
If not try a 4" pulley from PSC available for about $50 from Quadratec .....being smaller will give the pump more power at tick over ....ie off road
You will also need a different belt 70" apparently.
